A Resource for Building Caring Communities.

Compassionate Capital Region is a resource for building caring communities at the grassroots level in collaboration with city and county government in the seven counties of Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba and Nevada.Working Together For All to Be Safe, Healthy, Creative and Prosperous. We believe compassion is a collaborative effort because our neighbors’ problems are our problems. The Kwanzaa principle of Ujima states this belief clearly as: “collective works and responsibility; to build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and to solve them together.”

As a Compassionate City, Sacramento is in a position to be a great leader in this endeavor, paving the way for universal prosperity.Whether you’re newly interested in what this means or are a seasoned veteran in the way of leading with compassion, join us in stepping up our game to create a thriving, caring city.

In Appreciation to these Community Partners:

Compassionate Sacramento Resolution PassedOn July 25, 2017 Sacramento City Council passed the resolution drafted by Compassionate Capital Region to affirm the city's membership in the Charter for Compassion. This aspirational designation is a call to action for our city to honor the good works being done, and to shape our policies and our hearts to live up to the vision of a compassionate city.

How did Louisville transform itself into an International Model City of Compassion and a leader in government performance and innovation? In his very passionate and heart-felt talk, Greg Fischer, the 50th Mayor of Louisville, describes how the Louisville community is working together to make its local government as effective and efficient as possible while simultaneously valuing and promoting compassion.
